Every NCAA gymnastics floor champion routine from 2014-19 

Especially for the well know teams, when the difficulty is really high they tend to be slightly more lenient on deductions like what you would see in elite before the open ended code

@@alyssavanauker720 yeah, I know! It’s just because the judges tend to be more strict on the Nationals, especially when It comes about giving perfect 10’s

@@alyssavanauker720 it’s called bonus points

@@_IDK_993 10.0 is the cap for SV, so you can’t actually get bonus points. the judges are simply more lenient with skills like a silivas even if it doesn’t have great form

😂😂

That’s already .300 deduction even if we’re being picky. She’s definitely an overrated NCAA gymnast.

I was there for the championships - and was a judge for years - - - I can tell you that I love Ohashi however she also had leg separation - you just didn’t see it due to the camera angle. It was actually an amazing meet.

Theo Sotto no one takes 0.3 for a leg separation in NCAA

Please remember that the judges don't have the ability to see the gymnast from every angle, we may be able to see all their errors but the judges can't!!

I agree. Didn’t take katelyn have close to a perfect 10 average on floor that season? I know that doesn’t matter in the end but her floor at nationals was better then Maggie’s. I honestly didn’t see any leg separations on her passes.

I gotta agree with you. They're all great- Kytra had SUCH power....but Kat just had such unique choreo and STYLE. Mykayla Skinner has never quite been able to control her power.

Arkansas represent!! Love her. She's a legend

I believe she is the only gymnast to do so.

@@doricohen7584 Kyla Boss doing her Kyla Boss thing

@@doricohen7584 and Maggie Nichols

@@tidalvii8640 I don’t think Maggie was champion on beam. Only vault, bars and floor

@@taylorburtis oops I thought she had I was thinking of gym slams

Where?

I know, hers seems to be more basic

I guess Kyla never had that stamina even when she was in the National Team.

she has said she prefers these kids of routines because its what she is more comfortable with and feels best doing

Well it's not a choreography competition 🤷‍♀️

@@hazelnutspred3348 but floor exercise is all about where the artistry comes from women's artistic gymnastics. it's so hard to be artistic for them due to the COP preferring difficulty over execution. so although yes, it is not a choreography competition, it is vital to have an alluding performance.

Simone wasn’t really a super competitor back when McKayla was competing like she is now. Back when McKayla was on the US national team, her difficulty score was really high and when he made that comment it was a while bavk

Simone was not a superpower when mykayla was on the world team

McKayla is very good, but her style isn’t for me. Can’t deny her talent and hard work though!

@@KatieLHall-fy1hw Same here

I’ll take a shot at answering this. My guess is, 1) They take care of themselves when injured. A they have a schedule of meets against schools and can compete in the next meet if they skip one, whereas in Elite WAG they push themselves to compete in qualifier meets so they can go on to the next competitive one. That could explain why we see NCAA execution is stronger. Also, an NCAA championship is mentally less pressure than a World Championship or Olympics, so we really do see the NCAA athletes at their best.

2) no Code of Points! They do more interesting things because they’re not all aiming for the same high-difficulty elements like the L-turn and Wolf turn.

3) I’ll go out on a limb and say these collegiate women have more interesting, expressive routines because they have more life experience to draw on, more story to express. Elite gymnasts know 1 thing, gymnastics. They’re younger, they’re homeschooled, they don’t have Friday Night dance parties, they don’t have the breadth of experience to draw from that lends itself a wider range of expression.

4) NBC doesn’t air many routines from other countries in their Olympics coverage. Floor isn’t America’s strength as it is in, say, Romania. (edit) And idk why that is. A commentator said once Romanians are strong at FX and I found myself agreeing.

It’s a true team competition. Notice how the teams cheer for each other, especially during the routine, dancing along with them. Whereas in Olympics, the ladies are more reserved. On the nights of the Event finals and AA they’re competing against their teammates.

Why would you copy someone else’s comments word for word

I love Kyla! I think the choreo works for her.
